eBay MKWAJU ENSEMBLE ‘Ki-Motion’ LP (Switzerland, /We Release Whatever The F*** We Want Records, Catalogue #WRWTFWW026) Brand new/unplayed copy of limited year 2018 We Release Whatever The F*** We Want Records label LP edition of highly sought-after 1981 Japanese ambient/minimalist/avant-garde percussion masterpiece album Ki-Motion by the Mkwaju Ensemble, led by Midori Takada. Originally released in 1981 in Japan on the Better Days label. (NOTE: ALL RECORDS ARE PACKED AND SHIPPED IN PROFESSIONAL, SUPERIOR QUALITY RECTANGULAR SHAPED, CORNER PROTECTING CORRUGATED CARDBOARD RECORD MAILERS WITH FILLER PADS. SATISFACTION GUARANTEED!) (NOTE: BRAND NEW/FACTORY SEALED ITEM!) (NOTE: LIMITED VINYL EDITION!) WRWTFWW Records present the official reissue of legendary album KI-Motion by Japanese percussionist Midori Takada’s MKWAJU Ensemble, originally released in 1981. A highly creative and transcendental fusion of marimba, vibraphone, bamboo percussion, and synthesizers, KI-Motion was recorded in 1981 and captures the birth of Midori Takada’s exploration of minimalism, African rhythmic tradition, and ambient music. The album takes its conceptual inspiration from the tamarind (“mkwaju” in Swahili), a drought resistant tree notably used to craft some of the first mallets and marimbas but also known for its culinary and medical uses, an essential symbol of life and identity for the Central African grasslands. Drawing from the region’s culture and music as well as the crucial notion that rhythms represent the very fabric of life, Midori Takada leads her ensemble into environmental heaven to create one of the highlights of her recording career and an absolute must-have from the golden age of Japanese ambient — the ideal companion to her majestic opus from 1983, Through The Looking Glass. – WRWTFWW Records present the official reissue of legendary album KI-Motion by Japanese percussionist Midori Takada’s MKWAJU Ensemble, originally released in 1981. – A highly creative and transcendental fusion of marimba, vibraphone, bamboo percussion, and synthesizers. – KI-Motion captures the birth of Midori Takada’s exploration of minimalism, African rhythmic tradition, and ambient music. – Sourced from the original masters. – LP version cut at Emil Berliner Studios; 140 gram vinyl; housed in 350g old Stoughton tip-on sleeve.

Satisfaction guaranteed! —————————————————————————————————————- HOW WE SHIP RECORDS (AND OTHER ITEMS) TO YOU: With the exception of a few odd-sized items, ALL LPs are packaged for shipment and sent to you in PROFESSIONAL QUALITY, SUPERIOR RECTANGULAR SHAPED, CORNER-PROTECTING CORRUGATED CARDBOARD RECORD MAILERS WITH FILLER PADS. SATISFACTION GUARANTEED! We are record collectors here, too, and we pledge to package your records (or any other item) in a way in which we would like to have records/other items packaged, sent to us and received by us as well. When packaging up records that are non-factory sealed items (as is standard for many import releases) or are open “used” items for shipment, we remove the LP and inner-sleeve from the album cover and place them on the outside of the cover to protect the cover from being subjected to any potential seam-splitting during transit. When packaging up factory sealed records for shipment, we leave the item sealed, intact, as is. HOWEVER. If a customer REQUESTS that we unseal a factory sealed record to send with the LP and inner sleeve on the outside of the cover (to protect the cover from any potential seam-splitting during transit) we will do so. Please be sure to make this request of unsealing your record for shipment if that is your packaging preference. When packaging up non-factory sealed items (or factory sealed items that have been unsealed at the buyer’s request) that have custom company or other manner of printed inner-sleeves, we remove the record from those printed inner sleeves (returning the printed inner sleeves back into the album cover) and place them inside brand new, generic white paper inner sleeves, which are then placed on the outside of the album cover to protect both the album cover AND the original printed inner sleeves from being subjected to any potential seam splitting during transit. We do this for all new AND used items that are in our stock. All LPs, be they new or used, are sheathed inside of new, protective plastic outer sleeves (with the exceptions of space or weight limitations that may occur with packaging your items – such exceptions will take place when they allow for a lower cost of shipping charged for your total order.) We go the extra mile to protect and preserve your items, folks! With but a few exceptions (odd size combined orders or other package configurations and considerations…) All 12″ records are sent to you packaged in quality 15″ x 1″ x 13″ rectangular shaped corrugated cardboard LP mailers. All 10″ records are sent to you packaged in quality 13″ x 1″ x 13″ square shaped corrugated cardboard LP mailers. All 7″ records are sent to you packaged in quality 8″ x 1″ x 8″ square shaped corrugated cardboard 7″ record mailers. All Compact Discs are sent to you packaged in quality 7″ x 1″ x 5″ rectangular shaped cardboard CD mailers. All Cassettes are sent to you packaged in quality 5 1/2″ x 1″ x 3″ rectangular shaped cardboard Cassette mailers (Note: Cassettes sent to international addresses will be packaged in a larger box of some appropriate size configuration to accommodate the size and application of mailing/customs labels sent to international addresses.) All Cassettes and CDs or records that come packaged in odd-sized or odd-custom packaging are sent to you in quality corrugated cardboard boxes of various unspecified dimensions, with various sorts of interior padding (styrofoam peanuts, bubble wrap, cardboard filler pads, etc.) to protect and preserve your items. —————————————————————————————————————- If you have any questions about any items that we have in stock or anything else, please feel free to inquire with us at any time (we are at your service and will get back to you with answers to your questions as soon as possible.) —————————————————————————————————————- WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR ALL OF OUR CUSTOMERS (be they first time customers or our many repeat customers) and WE GREATLY APPRECIATE YOUR PATRONAGE! —————————————————————————————————————-
